Milford on Sea: your questions answered
Can you do a barbecue at a venue in the New Forest National Park?
Yes. Some venues there have rules about cooking and vehicles, so check with yours. We will follow the site rules.
Which station is closest to Milford on Sea?
The closest is Lymington Town station, roughly 3.4 miles away.
How far ahead should we book?
Popular dates go early. But it is always worth asking: use our quote form.
Do you cater for vegetarians?
Halloumi and vegetable skewers (V) and a vegan burger or sausage (Ve). Let us know how many to expect.
Should we have every meat?
Three or four meats plus the vegetarian and vegan options suits most groups. Fewer items keeps service quick.
Do you leave the area tidy?
We clear the serving area and pack away, and leave the area tidy.
What does the venue need to provide?
The main thing is an outdoor cooking spot we can reach. Tell us what’s available on site and we will confirm the rest when we quote.

We give you allergen information for every dish, and we’ll label the meat-free choices clearly.
